So, to get out of the house and go do something despite the weather, we headed to Luther this past weekend in honor of Ryans upcoming birthday and Fathers day for my Dad...Dad and Ryan took a drive up the Beartooth Highway to check out the snow drifts....the pictures I'll attach don't have a point of reference, but if you so choose to believe Mr. Rigard he did say they were probably 15-20' high....brrr...Mom and I stayed home and worked on a surprise...which I'll fill you all in after next week....we ate a delicious halibut dinner...halibut caught by none other than my Dad....yum....my parents recently vacationed in Alaska and were generous enough to share the yummy catch! Thanks you two! Saturday evening, we headed into Red Lodge to listen to 10 Foot Tall & 80 Proof at Red Lodge Ales, the local brewery...it good cooler and cooler as the night came on so we headed to Bridge Creek for a nightcap then headed home...
On our way home we stopped in Big Timber and returned a race chair Ryan had borrowed from a friend....he tried it out and I think would have enjoyed it more if it had, had a brake and definitely if he'd had some instruction....he thought it would be a good way to train....he has ambitions of competing in a triathlon at some point...but it just wasn't working out....it was difficult to get into and out of with my assistance so it would have been difficult to get in and out of alone....he is totally independent with his handcycle which of course is more appealing to him....who knows...glad he tried it...we'll pursue it again should it come up....no rush to figure it out by any means...
We managed to get in a short bike ride (10 miles) when we got back to the house....we no sooner pulled into the garage after the ride and the rain/hail started. We were both quite glad to not have gotten caught in it....Ryan kept a great pace the whole time and we've decided that he should start doing sprints on the handcycle....so next time we can get out together that's the plan....
It took Harles 2 days to recover from his weekend of fun at Grandmas house....my parents have 2 Airedales who are crazy dogs and they were also watching my brothers black lab mutt, Zuke...so 4 of them running around was quite the circus act...
Enjoy the pics and have a great rest of the week....one more thing....I may have mentioned it in the last post, but if I didn't....I set up a feature on this blog (at the top of the page, under the blog title) that you can sign up to receive an email whenever I write a new post....it is very easy....you just click on the link, enter your email address and then you have to open the email it sends you to confirm....then you should receive an email anytime I write....thanks for all of you who check the site!
More later!
